Joe Nolan’s Tornado is a much calmer force of nature than the name suggests. The local artist’s pining folk-blues record is more aftermath than storm, more aching regret than break-up. The album begins with a raspy Nolan counting in the first song, “Tightrope Dancer,” a folk ballad about fading love. His voice is the first thing that captures you with its gravelly, trembling, Eddie-Vedder-meets-Tom-Waits vibe. His songs are infused with romantic sorrow, and the album plays like a live set, as if you’re right there with him, watching from a wooden bar stool as the 23-year-old growls his confessions through clenched teeth. In an earlier time there would be a low-lying layer of cigarette smoke.
